Mitch Horowitz is an exceptional author and thinker. Highly recommend and 5 stars!
Mitch Horowitz consistently delivers literary excellence, and this offering is no exception. Reading this book is like attending an immersive seminar or a meticulously curated primer, providing profound insights into Manly P. Hall's magnum opus, "The Secret Teachings of All Ages." Horowitz reveals that the genesis of this work lies partly in a series of lecture transcriptions he had previously undertaken, weaving these into a narrative that is both enlightening and engaging.Having read several of Horowitz's other books (and I will read even more!), I am continually astounded by the breadth of his knowledge, the elegance of his writing style, and the richness of his vocabulary. More than that, it's the integrity that resonates through his writing that leaves a lasting impression. Horowitz has a unique ability to make complex concepts accessible and intriguing, encouraging readers to delve deeper into the subject matter and often providing specific recommendations for further reading -very helpful!Beyond the written word, Mitch Horowitz shines equally in person. I strongly recommend seeking out interviews or podcasts featuring him. In these settings, his intriguing, thoughtful, and intelligent demeanor is fully evident, mirroring the qualities that make his writing so compelling. In every sense, Mitch Horowitz is an exceptional author and thinker. Highly recommend and 5 stars!

neat highlights of Hall’s Opus
Having slogged through Hall’s dense work several times, Horowitz set off positive bells regarding what I read and didn’t always understand when reading Hall. There are lots of refs to other works that compliment the opus. It’s an easy, lively read.

Great Introduction to Manly P. Hall
I've been enjoying Mitch Horowitz's works the past few years, and this is another great one, exploring Manly P. Hall's life and prolific writings. It focuses on esoteric ideas rather than New Thought, so a lot of information was new to me. It's compiled from a series of lectures, so it's not as polished as Mitch's primary books like "One Simple Idea" or "The Miracle Club," but that doesn't detract much.After finishing, I ordered the reader's edition of Hall's "Secret Teachings" (edited by Mitch), and also Hall's "Lectures on Ancient Philosophy." So this introduction accomplished its goal in whetting my appetite for more.

An introduction to The Secret Teachings of All ages
A nice introduction to Manly’s great book with modern updates. I enjoyed it as it was easy to follow . It appears that the author was speaking ( as in a lecture ) to an audience.
